A Lot OF Pointers For the Benefit
of the Girls.
Take all cards under seven out of a
pack; name one of the queens for your
self; if you are very dark, spade; me-
dunn complexion. club; light, heart;
very blonde, diamond. The thirty-two
cards have this Interpretation: Ace of
hearts, your home; ten of hearts, your
bed; nine OF hearts, your wish; eight of
hearts, pleasant state of mind; seven of
hearts, faint heart; ace of diamonds,
great prosperity; ten of diamonds, i'm
mediate pleasure; nine of diamonds, the
arrival of money; eight of diamonds,
pleasant information; seven of dla-
monds, fattery; ace of clubs, letter :;
ten OF clubs, a journey; nine
OF CLUBS, "a present; eight
of clubs, conviviality drink; seven of
clubs, tears: ace of spades, coming
right side up, is your love affair; wrong
side, sickness: ten of spades, something
Immediate; nine of spades, despair, de-
struction; eight of spades, something
III the far future: seven of spades, vex-
alton, annoyance. Three aces coming
together, either in dealing Off or placing,
mean great surprise, and the cards
Immediately following determine the
nature of the surprise. Three mines
mean removal; three seyens, a loss;
three jacks, deception and treachery !;
three tens, making new friend: three
elghtS, unexpected news; three queens,
certain quarrel: three kings, a
warning. You shuttle and cut three
times the thirty-two cards whose mean
ing you now know; deal them off
three at a time, and when on the third
there are two cards of the same suit,
take out the highest and commence a
semi-circular row; go through the cards
: this way, shutting and cutting three
times at time; should you run off
I of the same suit or three of the same
kind, put 'em all down together; the
fourth time just shuttle and put the
cards all down as they come off without
| cutting, making what is called queue.
Look now when you may be in the line,
+ and count seven from the card you face !;
take it up, count seven again, and so on
round till you have seven, and then put
together the first and third, second
and sixth, the third and the fifth.
Whenever jack or queen
fsaye the one representing your
self pairs with one of the bad cards, out
they come. When this done, look care
fully over the cards and read their
meaning as they come or bear reference
to the others. The court cards are
parties you name them for. You then
begin and pair them from each end the
queen row. putting all the bad cards
that come together. You take those
left and shuttle and cut them three
times and deal in nine packs. Take
each pack up and examine them, laying
them in row again as at first. The
nine packs refer to yourself and fortune
in this manner: The first to your house
second, self; third, friend; fourth, wish !;
fifth, what you do expect; sixth: what
y&u do not expect; seventh, sure to
come true; eighth, to-day; ninth, sur
prise you.
TO determine if you will succeed in
anything or gain wish, shuttle and cut
the cards, deal them off in threes and
take any triplet that contains an ace
yOurSelf-Or the nine of hearts, which is
the wish card. You can repeat this op-
Grafton twice with the cards you have
taken out, and if in those two re-dealS
you can reduce the number of cards to
nine you will be justified in anticipating
the best sort of luck. The reduction is
accomplished by taking off three at a
time and throwing out every trio that
has no ace, or the nine, or the queen
representing yourself in it.
This is an infallible formula; so
there's no need of consulting astrolo-
gers or fortune tellerS if the directions
here given be followed out.
